JAI #271 Just add a sketch

Hello there,well by the hair of my chinny chin chin (speaking metaphorically that is!!) we have (almost) made it to the end of the school holidays. There have been times when I've welcomed the relaxation of routine but this time I am looking forward to the return of school. It also means (I hope) a return to crafting time for me! Luckily I could plan ahead so I have something to show you for this week's Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have another lovely sketch from Narelle for you.

I had fun mixing up different colouring mediums for this one.

I wanted a mix of soft pinks and yellow for this one. I actually coloured my flower and put it aside, as I wasn't quite happy with the pink tones. Luckily I managed to find the right tone in the end to go over and blend in to bring it down to a more dusky pink tone. (It started out what I can only call fluorescent pink - not joking!). I'm still loving watercolour texture and strong stripey patterns at the moment so of course both of those had to go in there as well, oh and lots of gold. Do go check out the rest of the DT, their creations will knock your socks off! Hope you can join us this week - we'd love to see what you do with the sketch.Thanks for visiting,KimRecipe: All SU! unless notedStamps: Blended Bloom, Crazy About YouCardstock: So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Whisper White, VellumInk: So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Tuxedo Black (Memento), VersamarkAccessories: Copic markers, Banner triple punch, Autumn Accents BigZ die (R), Stacked with Love DSP (R), Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (Gold), White embossing powder, Metallic thread (Gold), Champagne glimmer paper (R), watercolour paper (non SU!), Aquapainter, Double sided tape (X Press), Dimensionals
